SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Paul White

HOLY $^!%. very good, much much much much much better than mine.

just...WOW!

You work is SO amazing. I love the color schemes you use--and by that I mean the dark area with the pale skin, and the colored lips and so on. I especially love the way you do the eyes--more specifically the makeup you add to them; it really adds to the picture. I think my favorite picture overall would have to be Before the Frost.

Your gallery is outstanding. It is very disappointing to see the moderators have not chosen one of them for a mod's choice. They are depriving elfwood and elfwood visitors of your talent. The only thing that is a bit disappointing is that you do not reply to any of your many comments. I know I would like to hear your reply to at least one of my comments, it would just be a bummer not to hear from you. You are very talented anyway.

This is some of the best -- maybe the very best -- Poser work I have ever seen. You are very creative in your details and have some truly excellent lighting effects in your pictures. Your pictures look much less artificial than most Poser pics.

If I were to give any advice, I would say two things: First, I think that works done with a program like Poser should be described as such. I was looking at your pics and admiring how great they are, and thinking -- "I wonder if these are photomanipulations?" Then, after a couple more, I thought, "No, it looks like Poser work." I had to read all the comments to find out what programs you use to create these great pictures. IMHO every pic in Elfwood should have as a part of its description the media used to create it. The reason you haven't gotten any Mod's Choice awards yet might be that since you don't tell us up front what programs you used, the use of aids like Poser might seem a bit sneaky to some. Or it might be that the Mods just don't give awards for Poser work; but I don't think that's fair, since Elfwood allows such art to be posted, and if any Poser work deserves Mod's Choice, yours does!

Second: each of your pics is a portrait of a single female character. Maybe putting more than one character in a pic and letting them relate to each other might be the next step...?

i haven't click into all the works here, but they are obviously amazing beyong measure.... i like those compositions and dark concepts it's most shocking and unbelievable that there isn't a mod's choice as the comments above had indicated... (i didn't think not telling the programs you used'd present that much problem? O_o) but anyhoo, kudos for beautiful artowkrs of yours

Any attempt to describe your work would quickly bankrupt my supply of superlatives. These are amazing vehicles for mood and emotion as well as technical marvels, the thing I haven't seen mentioned here, though I haven't read all the comments either, is that the captions you have here are equally impressive, you do great word paintings too. Do you write?

You have a very large gallery, and impressive. But if I could give some critique of a sort. I see that you use poser, and understanding that it does take the out the time and effort of starting from scratch, it creates a look and feel that limits what you characters can express. I encourage modelers all over to try and sway away from using such methods, its seems poser *all the versions so far* give the faces a cold non-emotion look. Thus it makes most of the characters have the same eerie feel to it. With about a months work on tutorials and extra study a person who is fluent with max, maya, or even bryce can make a decent version of the human character. Once a character is made, then it can be modified to have a different look and feel, unlike poser. But I do agree that every artist should use thier own style of brush and that we all have our own style of art. If you would ever like creative help on such material I'm always setting time aside to help out artistic peers. -Oob

Well... I don't comment very often but why did I feel like I had to? No you're not the best artist I've seen on here so don't float away just yet, lol. Nah I just got directed here from looking at a comment you had posted elsewhere and it was kinda intelligent. Then I began looking at your work... you have made some awesome poses and perdy images altogether; and I say this EVEN THOUGH I am not a big fan of dark images... yes I have completely deleted all the dark images I've created... I guess it was a phase. Woops this is about YOU ... I don't have a favourite I apologise but your work is great here and I bet you have a great time doing it. That makes me smile the most. Okay I'll bite your style for a bit... " *smile* LOL " Yes you can float off now, heh. Keep well and be safe. Cheers to Paul White.
